A member asked:
My 5 month old sons toe nails are all growing crooked. is this normal, or could it be from always having socks on him? his big toes are slanted.

Toes: Unlikely that toe nail growth related to socks (which are soft). Are they discolored - if so, it may be a fungal infection. Please speak with your pediatrician or podiatrist.
